2009 NBA Mock Draft: Blake Griffin No. 1 Pick by LA Clippers

Oklahoma forward Blake Griffin is the top pick in 2009 YourFINDit NBA Mock Draft as the draft comes around the corner.

After years of contemplation over whom the top selection should be in the past couple of drafts, Griffin is undoubtedly the consensus this year. The Los Angeles Clippers will immediately start Griffin at the power forward position from day one.

After that, the draft becomes hazy as several teams determine what to do. UConn center Hasheem Thabeet and Spanish guard Ricky Rubio are considered the remaining players in the top three in several mock drafts, but it is unsure where they will get selected.

With several trade rumors and teams concealing their true draft intentions, I have devised a mock draft for tomorrow's proceedings.
